Lines at the blood banks in Las Vegas continue to grow. The Community Blood Bank in Erie says they have not yet been contacted to help with the blood supply in Las Vegas, however, they are still encouraging everyone who can, to go donate blood.

More blood supplied equates to saving lives locally and those in Vegas if the phone happens to ring.

The Blood Bank is open daily 8-5, on Tuesdays until 6, and Saturdays from 9-12.

For more information, please visit the Community Blood Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania at http://fourhearts.org/.
